Title: Sixteen
Rating: PG-13
Pairings: Minerva McGonagall/Sybill Trelawney
Word Count: 1584
Warnings: angst, femmeslash, hurt/comfort, implied sex, and a substantial age difference between the characters (I’ve estimated that Minerva is approximately 25 years older than Sybill – at least, that’s how it works here).
Summary: Minerva breathes deeply and, for a moment, she wonders how it is that she has come to be here. Again.
Author's Notes: istalksnape: thank you for a wonderful set of prompts, and affording me the opportunity to write Minerva. I really hope you like what I’ve done with it all. Many thanks also to T, for giving this the once-over.

Title: A Murmur
Rating: NC-17
Pairings: Minerva/Sybil
Word Count: 1400+
Warnings: Um, femslash. And some pretty good sex-ness.
Summary: Sybil finds herself loving Minerva more than Minerva ever thought she could allow.
Author's Notes: I really hope you like this. I tried for a smuttier draft, but they weren't having it (I hesitate to call them prudes, but they are quite private!). I hope you enjoy this. Thanks to T. for the beta read.

Title: Nurturing One of Our Own
Rating: PG-13 for partial nipple
Pairings: Poppy Pomfrey, Minerva McGonagall, Sybil Trelawney, Rolanda Hooch, Pomona Sprout, and Irma Pince.
Warnings: none
Media: construction paper collage, watercolor, ink, charcoal, plus a couple digital touch-ups
Summary: Poppy Pomfrey is always taking care of the Hogwarts inhabitants. So several of the female Hogwarts staff decided it was time she was cared for with a group massage!
Artist's Notes: I decided to go for an expressionist style, since there's some emotional energy in the idea behind it. Each woman is painted in colors associated with her personality or her field. Poppy is pink, McGonagall is her red/green plaid, Trelawney is purple, Hooch is yellow, Sprout is green, and Pince is blue. I had a good time making this and doing a fun colorful interpretation. I like the idea of the women of Hogwarts nurturing each other emotionally and physically. I hope you do, too!
